From 85 take El Camino Real and go to Matilda, One block from the corner of El Camino Real and Matilda. It is on the corner of Matilda and Olive.
Consider a material that has a number of objects that are not all the same. You may use scenic prints and then use the window ledge to separate. You will need a light, medium and dark fabric for window, sash & ledge.
